[English]

- I can't take it like, ya'll seriously?

- I can't really believe your making big drama.

- I'm making big drama?

I'm making big drama?

So you think what you're doing is okay?

Seriously, - You get what you want.

- No, no, but I'm sick and tired of it.

I'm sick and tired of it!

- Of what? - Of the disrespect!

Stop disrespecting me, stop disrespecting me!

Stop talkin' to people when I'm outside

doin' what I have to do.

Embarrassing me in front of other people, stop!

- You know what, I'm gonna leave you.

(glass tinkling) - Don't walk out!

No, seriously? - Yeah, I'm gonna leave you.

- Okay, okay. - I'm tired of this.

- No, stop, stop!

Please you're my life.

I'm never gonna leave, please stop.

- I'm tired of it. - I'm sorry.

- You have to trust me, I did nothing wrong.

- But you did wrong to me.

- What do you mean? - Because you are

disrespecting on a regular basis.

I don't want you talkin' to her.

I don't want you talkin' to her.
